ERODE: Preparatory works for TVK chief Vijay's public meeting near here on December 18 are going on, the party's Chief Coordinator K A Sengottaiyan said on Sunday.
The meeting is scheduled to be held between 11 am and 1 pm at Vijayamangalam in the district, he added.

Expecting permission, party workers started cleaning the site.
Further speaking to the reporters, Sengottaiyan said, "People's support is there for our leader. There is no one to compete with Tamilaga Vettri Kazhgam. With the tremendous people's support, Vijay will become the chief minister in the next year's elections."
Asked about the preparations for the meeting, he said, "The preparations have commenced today. You all come and see it for yourself. "
On whether the party candidates for the forthcoming Assembly polls would be announced, he said, "Our party chief would formally say that."
When asked about the speculations that expelled AIADMK leader V K Sasikala is likely to join the NDA alliance, he said, "You please go and ask her. See, no one can predict the election field. We have to wait and watch."
